For high achievers, over-thinkers, and the spiritually curious in evidence-based fields
Successful on paper. Second-guessing everything anyway.
Reflective 1:1 coaching and tarot-guided clarity sessions.
You've researched the decision, asked the smart people, made the lists. If the answer still won't land, the problem isn't information. It's a pattern you can't see because you're inside it. Clarity starts there.
Does this sound familiar?
These are the real questions people bring to my table — 200+ readings' worth, from professionals in healthcare, tech, startups, and corporate. If one of them is yours, the problem isn't your ability and it isn't a lack of answers. Something underneath the question keeps deciding before you do.

From the book
In Between
I’m writing a book about the season nobody warns you about: the space between who you have been and who you are becoming. In Between blends my story — nurse, healthcare leader, Filipino-American daughter of a family of nurses — with the framework at the heart of my coaching: the Emotional Silent Killers.
As a nurse, I learned that silent killers do gradual, symptomless damage long before anyone notices. We carry emotional versions of the same thing. They look responsible, they get rewarded at work, and they run your decisions from underneath:
- Fear dressed as logic. The research was finished months ago; the case for waiting keeps growing anyway.
- Validation-seeking dressed as thoroughness. You can't feel whether a decision is right until someone else confirms it.
- Perfectionism dressed as high standards. "I need more experience" said about work you already know how to do.
You can't change a pattern you can't see. Seeing it is the first half of the work.
Hi, I'm Charlene
My greatest transformation wasn't becoming more successful. It was learning to trust myself.
On paper, I had it figured out: registered nurse, family nurse practitioner, director-level healthcare leader, Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellow, podcast host, co-founder of a wellness company devoted to nurse well-being. In reality, I ran every decision through a committee of other people, because I couldn't quite believe my own read.
And here's the part I didn't expect: the tarot table taught me as much as the hospital did. Whatever question people brought to a reading, underneath it was almost always the same one. Can I trust myself? The readings were already coaching. Eventually I built the practice, and the book, that conversation deserved.

For you
You're at a crossroads of your own
A role that fits worse each year, a decision that won't resolve, a next chapter that hasn't announced itself. This is the private coaching work: we find the pattern underneath the indecision and you practice a more self-trusting way forward.

You're planning something for others
I facilitate reflective experiences for teams, offsites, retreats, and celebrations: grounded, thoughtful, and built for the moment you're marking. Tell me what you're planning and we'll shape it together.
Ask about eventsWondering…
Is this therapy?
No. It's reflective coaching focused on patterns, decisions, and self-trust. If something needs clinical care, I'll say so plainly and help you find it.
Is this fortune-telling?
Never. When cards come out, they open the conversation — nothing is predicted. There are no absolute yeses or no's in a card; the answers we find are yours.
What if I'm not sure any of this is for me?
That's exactly what the free 15-minute conversation is for. If I'm not the right support, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Start with a conversation
Fifteen free minutes to talk about what you're navigating and whether this is a fit. It isn't a sales call and it isn't a mini session. If I'm not the right support, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
